Garden Girls

Mark's garden is growing and we have made our first few harvests. This year, we are fortunate to have our good friend, Kelly, trying her hand at gardening with Mark. It is great for me...it means I can spend less time weeding and more time playing while I'm at the farm. : ) Ella loves the opportunity to hang out with her friend, Sierra, when she comes along to help her mom in the garden. And, they have had some giggly fun running around the farm together. Here they are posing with the radishes that they pulled from the garden.





James loves going to the farm too. I need to get a good picture of him after a night at the farm. For now, here is a visual: He loves to find and play in dirt and there is plenty at the farm. When he finds his favorite dirt pile, he kicks it, tosses it in air, digs in it, and sits in it. When it is time to come home, he is the color of dirt. Baths for James when we come home from the farm are usually done in two phases. He first gets a basic rinse in the tub to remove all the dirt. Then, we drain all that yucky water and give him a real bath. At least we know, he really enjoyed himself at the farm!
